Appendix A. Installation and Setup
131
General Notes:
1. The computer and device should be powered off when connecting any devices.
2. Although you do not have to have the device connected to install the driver, it is highly
recommended. This allows the device and driver to be tested when the driver is installed.
3. Note which hardware port each device is using on the computer as this information will
be used later in the driver installation process.
4. Because of a bug in Win95 installer, if an installation image is put in a location with a
long filename, the installer does not find it and says, "the specified location does not
contain information about your hardware". To avoid that problem, put the installation
image in the directory that does not contain long filenames in its full path.
